[Moodle] RE: wanted Ubuntu experts

[Arnott, Suzanne S]

Hi Neil,
sadly struggling at home... 
I downloaded the latest stable version and did the CD burn thing to install ubuntu
I will go check for connection manager.
 
Thanks Rob, I may have to do that next week, when the techs get the "new" XP version to go back onto the notebooks purchased from the rollover (glad to know it wasn't just me :)
 
I have a few things to check, will let you know how I go...
cheers
and thanks all
Suz

Suzanne,

 

Do the updates to Ubuntu (cannot get them to work through school proxies unfortunately) and after that you should be able to grab a thing called connection manager which talks to USB modems.

 

You will need to enter the school proxy server settings into your browser to access the outside world from school - or are you struggling at home?

Hi all...

well I bought back my notebook, so hubby had something to play on too :)  When XP failed to work, I thought I was very clever in installing UBUNTU... set up well, all good...

went to connect to the internet via LAN - nothing... I think I have checked out every help forum to no avail.  I have typed code into the terminal thingy, and checked admin, system, etc...

 

I can't even boot my mobile broadband USB on it. It won't run it. I was looking forward to having at least one microsoft free puter in the house...but if I can't connect to the internet it's not much use...

 

any thoughts?

cheers

Suz
